The FN 503 is praised for its tank-like construction and reliability even under extreme abuse, making it a preferred choice for serious self-defense.

This video debriefs a Glock 19 Gen 5 after a 30,000-round torture test. The reviewer highlights significant issues, including the failure of aftermarket Trijicon sights to remain attached, approximately 20 malfunctions (primarily failure to feed, failure to chamber, failure to extract, and failure to eject), and excessive wear on the barrel and slide. The performance is deemed worse than a comparable Sig Sauer M17 in similar tests.

This video details a 3,000-round torture test of a Glock 19 Gen 5 pistol. The test aimed to identify potential failure points under strenuous conditions, using standard pressure 124-grain ammunition and primarily Glock OEM magazines, with Magpul magazines as a supplement. The pistol experienced significant issues, most notably with its Trijicon night sights becoming loose and drifting, as well as trigger reset failures and extraction malfunctions, particularly after water and mud exposure.

This video debriefs a 5,000-round torture test of the Sig P320 M17, including an internal wear inspection. Despite acknowledging the P320's controversial track record, the reviewer found their specific M17 sample to be impressive, performing well in various adverse conditions like submersion and dirt, with only a rear sight loosening as a consistent issue. The reviewer emphasizes objective testing and notes that their sample has not exhibited uncommanded discharges or failures during their rigorous testing, outperforming other tested firearms in similar conditions.

This InRangeTV episode tests the Sig Sauer P320 M17's reliability in a mud test. The firearm initially fires five rounds successfully, but after being submerged and cycled, it seizes up. While it performed better than some previous handguns tested, mud ingress ultimately rendered it inoperable.
